This past year has been a challenging time for the CFRU as we learned to cope and work during a global pandemic.

Despite these challenges, the CFRU remained active thanks to the dedication of our Interim Program Leader, Aaron Weiskittel, and his support staff, Leslee Canty-Noyes and Meg Fergusson.
